I am mainly interested in the detection of extra-solar planets and statistical studies of extra-solar planetary systems. I'm also interested in stellar and galactic kinematics, variable stars, and exploration of the outer solar system.

Currently I am using three different methods to search for extra-solar planets: microlensing, transits, and radial velocities. Each of these methods are complememtary to each other in terms of the information that they yield regarding planetary systems and the range of system parameters to which they are most sensitive.

The microlensing research I have performed has been mostly as a member of the PLANET collaboration, which monitors microlensing events in real-time to detect planetary anomalies.

I am currently leading a search for transits due to exoplanets using the WASP0 instrument and am also a member of the SuperWASP consortium.

I now also spend time working with data from the Exoplanet Tracker, a multi-object spectrograph which is capable of monitoring many stars simultaneously for radial velocity variations due to extra-solar planets.

Shown above is a picture of myself with the Canopus 1.0m telescope which I used extensively for my Ph.D. thesis research.

There are more details of my research activities available from my list of past and current research.

Since there are a couple of Kane's out there, a link to ADS is pretty unhelpful. Here's my list of publications to save you the trouble.

I also have my curriculum vitae available for download (acrobat PDF format).
